>>42930599>giving in to 12-year-old shitpostersWhy? Especially in something as mainsteam as Pokémon, nobody cares. The dub in XY/Z was still pulling in respectable ratings on TV (certainly more than subgroups had downloads or streams had views), clearly people were happy to watch it when it aired on Twitch, and nobody outside of niche forms uses the Japanese names for characters after the English release, even if they're actively watching the subbed version, because then conversation just gets cumbersome.
Reminds me of looking up an ancient thread on the ANN forums where tryhards shat on 4Kids and the admins basically came in and told the posters to grow up and stop trying so hard to "fit in". It was in a thread where ANN had interviewed a 4Kids exec, so it also had a bit to do with ANN being grateful to 4Kids for actually giving them access, but still.
